Dressy Diaries

 Hey darlings! Today we want to share with you our favorite way to wear dressy yet casual outfits. These outfits are perfect for a night out or maybe just a day that you want to dress a little bit nicer. Enjoy!

This is my absolute favorite dress. I love that it goes with practically anything but it isn't a solid color. It still looks good when I mix it with any color or pattern. I wore it with my turquoise striped sweater to add a fun pattern and a bright color. The pictures don't show it but my gray tights are ribbed which add another texture to my outfit. I love this outfit because I feel like it's the perfect mix of colors, patterns, and textures. I could wear this same outfit with a different shirt underneath, different colored tights, or maybe both! Of course, I added my favorite combats to complete this look. But for a more dressy look, I would wear a pair of heels. Maybe even pink ones to throw in a new color!

My outfit is based off a "tea party" inspired look. This skirt it perfect for many different styles. The pleats are fun to work with. I choose to wear it with a peplum shirt this time. The stripes plus the peplum add a very flattering look. To stay on a more causal side, I wore simple jewelry and my booties, but if you wanted to dress the outfit up you could easily wear heels. And last, but certainly not least…my hat! I found it at the end of a long, unsuccessful shopping day, and literally the whole world got better when I saw it. I love this thing. It adds a modern, sophisticated look to so many outfits, (covers up a bad hair day), and completes the whole "tea party" style.

Saint Patrick's Day

 Happy Saint Patrick's Day! We love being festive and as soon as we saw these shamrock tights we knew that we had to post about them. It was a perfect, sunny day and we grabbed our friend Leah to shoot a few pictures for us at school. This was the perfect way for us to kick off the beginning of our spring posts.

I love dressing up for holidays and I love tights so when Autumn suggested we do both for "Leprechaun Day" I was all over the idea. This is my go-to skirt for tights because it is the perfect length. I added the belt for a little more color and to define my waist line. I think belts are so fun to add a little POP to any outfit. I kept the rest of the outfit pretty neutral to keep the focus on the green. And the fedora added a perfect spring touch.

First off, I have to give mad props to my sweet aunt Cari for practically this whole outfit. My skirt, sweater and shoes all belong to her. My new favorite thing is polka dots on polka dots. I love them! My outfit may seem a little crazy with the three different patterns but when being festive for a holiday, it's okay to be a little funky. Sometimes I get sick of doing my hair and I put it up. Usually I put it in one bun but I thought two matched the theme of my outfit. For any holiday, I suggest going to any store and picking out one festive item (usually tights or socks) and then plan your usual stylish outfit around that item. It will be perfect!
